Student Mentoring Week is the result of IIDA’s ongoing efforts to acknowledge the important role that students play in furthering the design industry. IIDA Student Members are paired with local design and industry professionals to gain critical day-in-the-life interior design experience.

We are looking into hosting a firm tour in San Francisco over Spring Break, but before we delve too deeply into the planning process, we would like to have a headcount of how many people would be interested in attending. We would like to have at least 10 attendees or more before we proceed. Please fill out this survey and let us know if you are interested in attending or not! Thank you! 🙂

Bring along your mentor or mentee and join us at 7:30 PM on Tuesday, November 26th, at Charlie’s Cafe, located on the 2nd floor of Design North. Also, please bring a White Elephant gift (under $5) for our gift exchange!

If you have any questions, please message us on Facebook or write to us at iida.asu@gmail.com. To RSVP on the Facebook event page, click here. See you there!

Discovered on Dezeen.com, the Emporia Shopping Center in Malmo, Sweden is not your ordinary mall.

Consisting of a curvilinear golden glass that stretches across a grid-like structure, the facade of the Emporia Shopping Center is designed to welcome people inside while also allowing daylight to enter in the courtyard. Once inside, visitors can experience three levels of shopping as well as atriums in bolds colors like red, blue, and green. They even can utilize the park that exists on the roof’s structure. Check out photos below!
